POTTSTOWN â A Pottstown woman faces a trial on charges she illegally purchased guns for a multi-county gun trafficking network.
Maliqa Deja Jack, 25, of the 400 block of Chestnut Street, was ordered to stand trial, after waiving a preliminary hearing before District Court Judge Edward C. Kropp Sr., on charges of corrupt organizations, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, making false statements, criminal use of a communication facility and illegal sale or transfer of firearms in connection with a gun trafficking organization that allegedly relied heavily on so-called âstraw purchaseâ schemes.
